3.5 // its an interesting look at a guy who was for sure an influence on everything that became punk rock, but his opinion of himself ranges from "I planned all this and wanted to change the world" to "I just did things to get girls", a mixture of ego and self awareness that makes the read occasionally frustrating at how much he contradicts his intentions.

But, he lived and loved fast and hard and passionately up until he didn't and the drugs took over, the bad drug years thankfully and  surprisingly being little of his story.

He talks more or less frankly about everyone he crossed paths, which was alot of people. He also loved women, and loved many, and still loves them all for the time they gave him.
